To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM DUNN, a

' citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings. and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Devices for Advertising Eifervescing Liquids, of which the following is a specification. 1 i

This invention relates to devicesfor adver tising by means of articles mounted on display-stands.

"parent liquid-receptacle and an apparatus ror 4 and having a shelf 5, located at the bottom of the mirror; The frame 3 fits connected with. the wine glass or receptacle by means of which liquid is su plied to sa1d wine glass 'orreceptacle an maintained therein in an effervescent state, thereby BX- posing to public gaze the appearance of a glass filled with an effervescent beverage, all as hereinafter fully set forth and shown.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a displaystand constructed and arranged in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of a display-stand having its.

arts-separated and disclosing the apparatus for supplying liquid to a wine glass or other liquid receptacle and maintaining the liquid therein in an effervescent state. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section of the invention on the line 3 '3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail enlarged view of the liquid-supply reservoir and its connection. Fig. 5 is a face view of an air-pump, partly in vertical section, which is connected with the wine-glass. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a modification of the construction of the display-stand.

In carrying out the invention I provide a display-stand 1 of a box shape, and preferably constructed with the two main parts 2 and anintervening frame 3, inclosing a mirover and is supported by a rim or projection 6 on the rear portion 2, and the front portion 2 is slid over the frame 3, supported by the rim 6, and fits tight against the rear portion 2, as shown in Fig. 1. The shelf 5 projects above the bottom of the front portion 2. The frame .3, with itsmirror 4, as shown in Fig. 3, separates the display-stand 1 into two parts: The front of the display stand or casing 1 may be closed by a glass 7, as

shown. Upon the shelf 5 is mounted a wineglass 8 or other suitable form of transparent liquid-rece tacleas, for instance, a champagne-bott e. The stem of the glass 8 is hollow, forminga passage-way 9 for the admission of a liquid.

Beneath the shelf 5 is located a liquidsup-" ply reservoir 10, as shown in Fig. 3 and in enlarged form in Fig. 4. The upper portion of the liquid-supply reservoir 10 is formed with a projection :11, which projects up throu h ahole in shelf 5 and into the lower end 0 passage-way 9 and serves as a stopper. The projection 11, which is made of rubber, is provided with a tubular passageway .11, which communicateswith the passage-way 9 and permits the passage of liquid from reservoir 10 to-the glass 8.

12 is a pipewhich passes through the liquid-supply reservoir 10 and the tubular passage-way 11 and has its end 13 communicating with the passage-way 9 of glass 8. The

.pipe 12 passes through a hole in the bottom .of the reservoir 10 and is made water-tight at the point 14. The pipe 12 connects withan air-pump 1.5, as shown in Fig. 2.v In the end 13 of pipe 12 is inserted a porous cartridge 13, made of any suitable material. The porous cartridge 13 is so fine thatwhile air can be forced through it the liquid in-glass 8 cannot escape-through it. I

The air-pump 15, as shown, is a doubleacting air-pump, formed with the cored-out air-chamber 16. Each piston 17 of the airpump is provided with theconical passageway 18, inclosing an intake ball valve 19, held in place in its lower position by a crosswire 20. The bottom of the piston 17 is provided with a leather washer 21, having a central opening 22 in line with the passage-way 18. The bottom 23 of each cylinder 24 is provided with a conical passage-way 25, connecting the cylinder 24 with the air-chamber 16 and having located therein a ball springvalve 26, normally closing the passage-way 25. The air-pump 15 is providedwith an 10 may be supplied to the tank 28.

rear portion 2 of the casing, and may be connected with a suitable handle to be run by hand. The air-pump may be operated by a spring or electric motor, which in such case 5 is concealed in the back of the casing adjacent to the pump.

28 is a liquidsup'ply tank mounted on th rear wall of the casingand provided with the vertical pipe 29, by means. of which liquid Thetank 28 is connected with the liquid-supply reservoir by means of a pipe 30.

The operation of the device is as follows:

Any suitable colored liquid is poured into the r 5. tank 28 through the tube 29, which runs through the pipe 30 to the reservoir 10, and, as water always seeks its own level, after reservoir 10 is full the liquid rises and passes around pipe 12, through the passage-way 11 m projection 11 and passage-way 9, intothe glass 8. Only enough li uid.is poured into thetank 28 to maintain t e required level of the liquid in glass 8.

The object of the liquid-supply tank 28 is 2 5 to easily replace loss'by evaporation therein,

the tank 28 holdin many times the amount of liquidheld by g ass 8. The reason reservoir 10 is used is because the openin in the bottom of the passage-way 9 must 0 neces- 0 sitybe very small m a wine-glass, and it would be diflicult to have both pipe and pipe 12 connect directly therewith, especially as it is necessary in order to et the roper effect to have 'pipe 12 disc arge t e air 3 5 through the porous cartrid e 13 directly in the center and in line with the hollow stem pf the glass. 7 I I Air under pressure is forced through the pipe 12 and the porous-cartridge 13 into the o 1 quid in the glass.

With the downward movement of the piston 17 in either cylinder 24 valve 26 is forced open and allows the air to enter the air-' 0 amber 16, and on the upward motion valve 5 26 closes, preventing the air from escapin from chamber 16-, and fresh air is admitte into cylinder 24 through the passage-way 18 of intake-valve 19, which opens on the upward movement of piston 17 and closes .on its downward movement.

This allows the .air to be compressed in the chamber 16, so as to get the steady flow required instead of an in termittent or pulsating flow} If desired,

other gas may be used in pump 15 insteadof, 5 5 air; but air is preferably used. The pressure obtained is just sufficient "to force the air throughthe cartridge 13 at the end of pipe 12 into the colored liquid in the glass 8. In being forced through this cartridge the airis broken up into very minute globules-and gives the exact representation of the gas or bubbles in a glass of sparkling champagne.

In order to carry out the advertising feature, there may be displayed on the shelf 5 diferent articles, such as a champagne-bottle 31 and cigar 32. These several articles beingrefiected in the mirror 4 add to the advertising feature, and the liquid eifervesces continually in the glass 8.'

Various arrangements of the bottle, glass, and-otherwarticles can be made-as, for example, as shown in Fig. 6, where inclined mirrors 33 are mounted in the casing 1', thereby multiplying the articles displayed in the front of the casing.
